Over the next week, I will be preparing for my exams. I have no classes, which is a luxury that I'm not used to. During this week, as a break from studying I'm planning on writing about the things I've learned, my trips, the highlights, the lowlights, things I miss and things I will miss. So be prepared. The following list has things both material and emotional components.
Things I've missed being here:
My family, my friends
My pets
Mexican Food
Chinese Food
Food that is not bland in general
Looking at the mountains every day
Sunsets over said mountains
The smell of pine trees
Having a car (it's frustrating not being able to drive sometimes)
Listening to the radio
Food that doesn't spoil in a couple days
The deep blue color of the sky (it's literally different color, there's science, go look it up)
My bed
Skiing
Having a job and the job I do at home (I know, its weird)
Seeing the lilac bush at our family farm bloom
Playing the violin
Playing the piano and messing around on my guitar, anything musical really
Things I haven't missed:
The smell of weed (I really, really haven't missed this)
American accents (I live with Americans so I hear them anyway)
Snow (with the noted exception of skiing)
Drama (it takes something big to cover the 4000 mile gap)
My classes
The mass of students trying to get between classes
Tax not being built into prices
There are more on both lists but that's what I can think of at the moment. I'll post another set of things love about Ireland and things I won't miss up tomorrow.
